The Horizon Centre has been transformed thanks to new artwork from Kate Bond and our amazing Art for Life team. Taking inspiration from CAMHS service user Willow, the space is now more welcoming, helping make mental health services more approachable for children in Somerset๐Ÿ’™

Thanks to a kind donation from Minehead Hospitalโ€™s League of Friends, the theatres have been fitted with a new laminar airflow system! More advanced equipment means our teams can perform more complex surgeries - so more patients can be cared for in their local hospital ๐Ÿ’™
